Wonder why they're not just giving us access, if it's indeed so good? Seems it's just to generate some noise and hype around Gemini. Hardly believable after the previous faked demo…

No, the ignorant live in a delusion and can't explain their conspiracy theories.

Highly unlikely, Zach specifically mentioned how their scans are an artistic representation, since the scans undergo heavy editing to highlight certain parts and make the hardware …

US is one of the only countries in the world where you still have to pay US taxes no matter where you live or work and what passports you have, as long as you are a US citizen, and…

I was forced to move here when my parent got married. Never wanted to come here, didn't have a choice, tried to like it and I don't think that's humanly possible. Don't be a dick.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I've been dying to leave, nothing I would like more. But I am sure you've heard of the term economic slavery, and that's what I have become. Don't make e…

Unpopular indeed. Opinions don't exist to be voiced, and nobody asked.

My guy, the forum is called "Hacker News", it can hardly be any more techy than it already is.

You are completely wrong. Iceland imports everything which is why the food is expensive there. It would be exactly like saying "Food in the US is insanely expensive, just look at A…

NYC. Chicago. Detroit. Atlanta. This ain't it chief. There is no correlation between "fewer guns" and "more petty theft". The common factor is culture of crime and it comes in diff…

NYC is 1 city. Europe is 50 countries. To say you broadly generalized is to understate by a mile. Let's narrow it down to high density mixed cities like Paris or Berlin and you may…
